The uptake sites for norepinephrine (NE) in brain have not been studied in much detail, probably due to the absence of an adequate radioligand for labeling these sites. This study describes the binding properties of [3H]nisoxetine to uptake sites for

The human norepinephrine transporter (NET) is implicated in many neurological disorders and is a target of tricyclic antidepressants and nisoxetine (NX). We used molecular docking simulations to guide the identification of residues likely to affect substrate transport and ligand interactions

Since the late 1980s, cocaine analogues based on the phenyltropane structure, such as [(11)C]CFT and [(123)I]beta-CIT have been used for the imaging of the dopamine transporter. FE@CIT (fluoropropyl ester) and FP-CIT (N-fluoropropyl derivative) are further analogues. The aim of this

An attempt has been made to assess critically the clinical and experimental evidence that implicates a malfunctioning of amine neurotransmitter systems in the aetiology of depression. The evidence available does provide indirect evidence in favour of the biogenic amine theory

Drosophila melanogaster, the fruit fly, is a commonly used model organism because of its homology to mammals and facile genetic manipulations. However, the size of the nervous system is very small. We report a method to evoke and detect rapid
